  Nothing wrong with this car - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By muffy - October 1 - 10:00 am

  Theres just nothing wrong with this car. Im sure there are better cars out there at some price but we drove a dozen of the top sellers in the high 20k to mid 30k range and this car gave a very good account of itself in every way. After 15 years of driving a Suburban (kids are gone) its kind of nice to actually be able to park where everybody else parks. After a few years well probably sell this to one of the kids or their cousins and get a "middle age" car like a BMW 530 or something. Well see how it ages. By the way, this is the first Japanese car that we have ever bought.

  Our 3rd Camry. We still drive our 96 which has 204,000 miles on it. Cant beat the reliability, quality of design and body integrity.

  Camry slips in quality - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By John Youngt - August 30 - 10:13 am

  We chose Camry because of reliability. I wish now I had not. Our 05 Camry has a problem knowing when to shift (either up or down). The dealership indicates the new electronic transmission is known for this problem and apparently Toyota does not have an answer. The hesitation in shifting is troublesome and will probably get worse with age. In addition to the transmission the Camry has very soft braking, another acknowledged defect by the dealer but one for which they have no cure. So beware!

  Great Car - 2005 Toyota Camry

  Almost bought the 6-cylinder but, opted for the four. Fantastic gas mileage! Packed the car for a weeks trip and it was loaded...no problem going up the hills to the mountains! With gas prices the way they are we felt we couldnt go wrong with the Camry. The trunk is spacious and held lots of cargo. Very happy with our purchase.

  Camry SE - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By A. Hughes - July 11 - 12:33 am

  I traded my 2002 RAV4 in on the 2004 Camry SE. What a difference a couple more cylinders makes! Its so nice to be back in a V6 and to have power once more. The car drives and rides so smoothly. Its nearly effortless, but doesnt have that mush-box luxo car feel sort of effortless drive to it. You actually get road feedback. It does have that torque steer of a front wheel drive, so be prepared for that, but its not as bad as some other cars that Ive driven. Overall, its a great car with a lot more room than youd think at first glance. I strongly recommend it.

  Love this car!!! - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By lamardis - July 10 - 4:56 pm

  After having an SUV, I swore that I would never own another car. I was wrong... I love this car!!! The seats are comfortable, that back has plenty of leg room... my husband is 6 ft and has no problems with roominess. the trunk is HUGE! I live in the mountains, and my 4cyl. is plenty strong to climb without any trouble.

  Picked up my New Camry and it drives so well. Looks good - They had 3K off 2004 but the 2005 looked better so I went for it. Daughter owned a 89 Camry that is still on the road! One reason I went wiht Camry. Dealership was fair and the salesman Mr. Duckworth made things fast and easy. Drove it off the lot with 7 miles on it.

  Camry is a solid car - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By californiacam - July 2 - 10:00 am

  I purchased an 05 Camry XLE V-6, I could not be happier with it. It was not the cheapest car I looked at, however it had the most bang for the buck.

  HESITATION problem! - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By Not happy - June 24 - 3:43 am

  Owned 3 months with 1600 miles now, very dissatisfied with transmission hesitation. After normal slowing down and then reaccelerating, engine doesnt seem to know what to do. Im praying Toyota will recall. Getting approx. 21 mpg. A/C and temperature lighted controls along with clock/passenger air bag monitor hard to see with normal sunlight. Love a breeze from a sunroof; but with Camrys open fully, cant feel any air w/o opening windows too. Performance P215/55/17 tires noisy on rough roads and over $175 each to buy - thats over $700 plus taxes & installation to replace all 4 tires & rated for only 20,000 miles. Front end design seems to attract many road stones and chips paint easily.

  Excellent car for the money. Comfortable, standard features are more than adequate and the reputation cannot be beat.
